TouchTone
dial with P and SG keys for
4-wire use. P = Priority SG = Special Grade Buttons were typically assigned as follows: HOLD 4-wire line 1 4-wire line 2 2-wire line Auxiliary Transfer Key Transfer Key There is also an exclusion key under the left plunger. |

Note the key
profile. The spherical
detent in the middle of each button is smaller than the
later
production buttons. The designation strip covers are beveled and held in place with pins, like those on the earlier 400-series keysets and late 1950s vintage prototype sets. The pins go into a metal plate that the dial pad is mounted on -- a much more expensive arrangement than that used by later keysets and TouchTone pads. |

Side veiw
shows the 4-wire relay (above the
ringer coil) and additional terminal strip. The relay disconnects the receiver from the network. A repeating coil matches the receiver to the receiving loop, to obtain a 4-wire termination. |
